Virgins and Monsters

Bunked off with Margaret yesterday to draw in Alet-les-Bains. Lovely day, in the course of which we looked at the church and discovered this Sainte Maire d'Alet, a 12th century virgin and child.  She seems to be holding a mushroom of some sort... baffling. But beautiful.

 Rather more prosaically, our dishwasher has died and hit the street prior to being taken away by the councils monthly junk collection. 
You go to the town hall and ask for 'Le Monstre' - the name by which the big waste collection lorry is universally known - fill out the paperwork et voila! 
Goodbye old friend.
